Our prize draw for a Microsoft Band 2 continuous heart rate monitor was won by Ryan Sharp, from Group IT at Air New Zealand, pictured at right receiving his prize from Stellar General Manager Nicholas Glanfield.

Myles gave an overview of Microsoft’s Azure IoT Suite.

During the conference Stellar conducted a prize draw for a new Microsoft Band, the latest wearable health and fitness device from Microsoft. The Microsoft Band is representative of the many thousands of connected devices set to forever change the data paradigm.

Stellar believes that the sheer increase in both quantity and quality of data available to individuals and organisations in the future will have a far reaching impact on business.
